This is my first Canon camera so the ergonomics were challenging at first. But thanks to David Busch's R5/R6 Guide book, I was able to get going rather quickly. The overall performance is excellent as other reviewers have already pointed out. I have only had three issues albeit minor ones.First, the silent shutter produces severe banding when shot under flickering lights. This was expected but I had hoped it wouldn't be so bad. Changing to the Electronic 1st-curtain mode and turning flicker on cured that. Not totally silent, but much better than the Nikons I was using. The electronic silent shutter works find in normal lighting.The second issue is the battery. I was use to getting 1000's of shots per battery but now I can get no more than 250. Again, this was ...

These when on sell are about $200 each. With my old chips that had write speeds of 120M/S, I would hit buffering in about 1 second. I got two 300M/S chips and it now goes without buffering. The cost was about $400 on sell.I definitely recommend this camera to anyone looking to make the switch to Canon. Since I have zero experience with other Canon models, I will leave that decision to current Canon users to decide

I bought the R and the RF to EF mount adapter as my own introduction into the mirrorless full-frame market, and I am not disappointed.I should preface by saying that I don't shoot video...at all...and didn't need anything extraordinary in a camera body to support such features, which is why I steered away from the R5 or R6. I currently own a 6D with plenty of ef glass to support, and I was curious about the performance of the r-lineup and its growing sphere of influence--so I bought the R as a second full-frame body, and I am picking it up more and more over the 6D. Resolution over the RP and 6D, the vari-angle rear screen, better battery life than the RP, and uniqueness of the R are ultimately what convinced me on this body over the others.

It might have been a trial for Canon to introduce the R with its weird features like the touch bar and button placement, but that's the wonderful thing about evolution--gradual changes through adaptation that have led to the current models in the r-lineup.Quickly put, the R is a great camera, and if you're like me (focusing on stills), then I would highly recommend it if you are looking for a reasonably priced transition point from a DSLR to mirrorless, and you want to stick to Canon.The resolution is noticeably better when zooming into my photographs on the R over the 6D, which makes sense given the newer processor and extra megapixels. Low-light performance is on par with my 6D (which is one of the reasons why I bought a 6D in the first place), but I have yet to try out any astrophotography--so that's coming up. The vari-angle screen is amazing, and I love using it to get down low, or have the camera positioned well above my head. The battery life is just fine, as I have gone on a 6 hour hike (purposely taking only one battery), and said battery lasted the whole time with heavy use. I always have extra batteries, anyway, so the battery life is not a huge factor for me. Lastly, the m-fn touch bar is interesting. I have customized it to zoom in instead of pressing multiple buttons, and I like the functionality of it. I get that ergonomically it can get in the way, but I'm used to it after a few weeks of use. The autofocus is wonderful compared to any dslr I have ever owned, and I have cut down on the amount of time it takes for the 'need' to keep a subject in focus.I have experienced a slight lag with the evf and live shooting, which can become annoying, but it hasn't ruined my workflow when I am out and about.The more I shoot with the R, the more I love it. I do plan on eventually buying some RF glass, but at the moment I am perfectly fine with the way my current lenses perform with the R. Don't think for one second that you would be settling when you buy an R--it knows how to perform!

I shoot sports, senior pictures, weddings and events. I have had a 1DX II, EOS R in the past and currently own both the R6 and the R6II. I just shot my first basketball game last Friday with my two R6 cameras. Just a quick first thought on the R6 vs the R6II... The R6II has the most amazing autofocus shared from the R3 even surpassing the R6 for sports. I used the R6II with electronic shutter @ 20 frames a sec selection. Both the R6 and the R6II have the 20 frame rate but the II adds the 40 (too much for basketball and a very slow rate - too slow for sports. The quality of the pictures with electronic shutter on the R6II feels equal to the R6 using the mechanical shutter. I was always slightly disappointed in the electronic shutter on the R6 with slightly soft pics. ... MoreI shoot sports, senior pictures, weddings and events.

I was always slightly disappointed in the electronic shutter on the R6 with slightly soft pics. As a test, I shot a good portion of the game with the EF 85mm f1.4 IS shooting at f1.8. The 85mm is a portrait lens right? Who would ever shoot a portrait lens for a fast moving game like basketball? Not only did the R6II nail focus with fast moving players, the pictures it produced were brilliant even with the electronic shutter. Highly recommend this camera!

I have had my previous camera-a Canon EOS 5D Mark III DSLR (actually 2) for over 10 years (released in 2012). Still a great camera-but upgrading to mirrorless was long overdue! Love the feel, controls, and menu of this camera. Bought it for it's Eye-Detect AF system that has complete coverage and it doesn't disappoint! Love the flip-screen and the Bluetooth and 5/2.4 GHz Wi-Fi for wireless transfers and remote camera control from mobile devices to send photos on location.Dislikes:I heard the Micro-HDMI port is hated (Canon went from a Mini-HDMI port on my 5D Mk III to a Micro-HDMI port on my R6 Mark II?!?) Why Canon?!? The is a weak point. The competition has a full-size HDMI port!As far as the Multi-Function Shoe-I wish the Canon AD-E1 Multi-Function Shoe ...

I have been shooting with SLR's since the early 70's so there was a bit of a learning curve making the switch to mirrorless. After a month wiith the camera I can say that I can now capture images that I could never have done with my DSLR's. The auto focus and subject tracking are dead on and worked in low-light and low contrast situations. It found small, gray, city birds on sidewalks at dusk.Image stabilization is a huge improvement, I can now easily hand-hold a 70-200 F2.8 and get excellent results. All of my EF lenses (Canon, and others) mounted with the adaptor had full functionality.One caution: the camera is not yet supported by every editing suite out there, so some of the raw file renderings are strange. The CR3 files are editable but take much more work ... MoreI have been shooting with SLR's since the early 70's so there was a bit of a learning curve making the switch to mirrorless.

The CR3 files are editable but take much more work to achieve color balance than the CR2's from my older cameras. I have been told by two vendors that full support for the R series Canons will be included in their next updates. Also, the Dual Pixel Raw Optimizer included with Canon Digital Photo Professional V. 4 does nothing that I can detect on my monitors.Overall, a great camera that allowed me to capture a few wall-worthy images after only about a week of intense practice.
I'm a career photographer, have been for close to 40 years. I have shot exclusively with Canon products my entire career. In the past few years I've owned a few Canon mirrorless cameras, and I was very eager to purchase the R6 MK II. However I have to say that this is a $2500 waste of money. There are a few pros, like the drive speed, and low light performance, but the cons outweigh everything else.1) Not compatible with many third party lenses, including Tamron 28-75 F2.8 lenses. Bummer! I have two of these in my kit that are used for sports photography. Had to sell them both, as they won't function.2) Camera randomly locks up, always at the most inopportune times. It locked up on 3/7/23 and the oddity of it was that when it failed, it displayed the live image ... MoreI'm a career photographer, have been for close to 40 years.

Bummer! I have two of these in my kit that are used for sports photography. Had to sell them both, as they won't function.2) Camera randomly locks up, always at the most inopportune times. It locked up on 3/7/23 and the oddity of it was that when it failed, it displayed the live image that was present in the viewfinder. Not a captured image/photo, but a live image. The unit was unresponsive, nothing worked on the camera. I had to remove the battery and reinstall in order to get the camera back up and running. It has locked up probably 3-4 times in the last month. I'm running the latest firmware v1.1.1, however the lockups happened with the original firmware was well.3) Custom settings do not keep on this camera at all. I will setup the shooting parameters (including 1/125 shutter speed) that I use, save them as C1-C3 and later when I go to use the setting the shutter speed always drops to 1/40th of a second. An no, I don't have the auto update enabled under this setting. This one is a head scratcher for sure.4) Painfully slow startup time. I mean like 4-5 seconds before the camera decides it's ready to shoot. Supposedly this was fixed with the firmware v1.1.1, but I haven't noticed a difference. I read on another thread that if bluetooth was disabled, the camera starts up faster. I have experienced that it sometimes starts up sooner, but not all of the time. It's random. If you swap out a battery, and introduce a new battery, expect a 4-5 second lag time before the camera wakes up. I've never experienced this with any other Canon DSLR or mirrorless camera.My best advice if you are looking to purchase a mirrorless is to go with the Canon RP. This little gem is solid and always ready to go. At under $1000 , you can buy two nice, dependable cameras that won't let you down.
This review is from someone who started out with a Pentax Spotmatic in the 1970's and I am still trying to get a full grip around all the features in today's digital cameras. First thing is that the EOS R camera is a technological wonder and I doubt I will ever master everything. I got it to replace my Canon EOS 7D and 5D cameras which seemed to get heavier and heavier every time I picked them up. I wanted a smaller, lighter camera that I could take on road trips, overseas travel, hiking and camping venues. Many of the control features on the R are similar to the 5D, but it will be a learning experience to find them all. Frankly, the technical writers at Canon need a refresher course in how to explain how things work on the R camera. In my opinion, the provided ...

Many of the control features on the R are similar to the 5D, but it will be a learning experience to find them all. Frankly, the technical writers at Canon need a refresher course in how to explain how things work on the R camera. In my opinion, the provided manual and the downloadable comprehensive advanced manual are both virtually unusable. The manuals have you switching back and forth between the written and web based information which simply adds to the confusion. Trying to make this work in the field is not possible. The illustrations and photos provided in the manuals are tiny and rarely enlighten. My suggestion is to get a third party manual if you want to get a quick understanding of how this camera works. Most of these third party manuals are by professional writers who are technically competent and understand the adult learning process. I also bought the EOS EF to R lens adapter since I have a number of the older EF lenses. The adapter works well in facilitating communications between the lens and camera body, but understand that it adds weight and acts like a 1 inch extension tube to whatever lens you are using. I will likely get some RF lenses in the future as I am told they have superior sharpness due to their design. I am still exploring the EOS R controls, but the basic functions are easy to master. My main motivation for getting this camera is reducing the weight and bulk in carrying around a high quality full featured digital camera. The EOS R fits the bill.
Previously owned canon m50.... I must say a significant difference overall. Shooting wildlife, landscapes, portraits, macro, night photos is a game changer.More shutter speed features along with so many additional options I still need to explore. I love the ability to shoot at night, compared with aps-c sensor, easily noticed so much noise.Mind you, I could not get the correct settings right to eliminate noise but m50 is still a great camera for beginners. In addition, I had to order extra batteries as they didn't last very long, based on my usage.R6 MKII is extremely lightweight, which was my biggest concern. I love traveling light weight and needed something reliable and powerful. For me it was worth the invest plus with using EF-RF adapter, my EF lenses ... MorePreviously owned canon m50....

For me it was worth the invest plus with using EF-RF adapter, my EF lenses work fine.Battery usage is great, as I don't shoot all day. I have shot a few videos and using a small video mic. Buttons arrangement is good, will take adjustments with muscle memory.After a lot of research, I'm glad I upgraded. Price was good too. R3 and R5 were too costly, but focused more on serious sports or professional photographers.For those looking for cemos sensor, don't think it has that, even though it's listed. R6 MKII is great. Look forward to exploring additional features.
I was really torn about going mirrorless, and also about sticking with the Canon lineup. I gave alot of thought to the Nikon Z6ii with its great time lapse capability, in camera focus stacking and intervalometer, and the appealing Nikon 20mm I could put on it. I gave ALOT of thought to both the Z6ii and the Canon R! What finally made me pull the trigger for the R was the articulated screen, the ability to continue to use my Sigma Art lenses with the adapter, and the good astro reviews I was reading about the R. Let me tell you, I am DELIGHTED with my purchase. The articulated touch screen is a GEM. I can shoot however low I want to now, since it was getting a little hard for me to be on my knees or on the ground for those low shots I wanted to capture. Focusing on ...

I can shoot however low I want to now, since it was getting a little hard for me to be on my knees or on the ground for those low shots I wanted to capture. Focusing on the stars is easy as pie, the touch screen is very responsive, and the camera is a charm to work in the dark....a lot better than my 6d. Heck, I have been using my 6d for years and years, and I still fumble around in the dark with its buttons. No more with the R. There are few buttons on the back to deal with. Dials are easy to use when I want to use them, and the touchscreen.I have captured the both the Milky Way and multiple aurora storms since having bought the camera. Happy with the captures and LOVE watching the aurora on the touchscreen. Honestly, I have a really hard time picking up my 6d as my back up camera now. If you are an astrophotographer, don't be afraid of picking up the well-oiled Canon EOS R. No regrets from this nightscape photographer!
I am write now for had the EOS R now for 3 yrs. Purchase from my go to candy store B&H. Was a upgrade from my Canon EOS 5D M III. Wanted to get into the mirrorless game and the change is amazing. Overall wt & size, ergonomics make it a plus, than the 30 megapixel matched with the DIGIC 8 processor creates amazing shoots. I do photo's only so not going to say anythingabout the video function though I have taken some and there fun to watch. The draw backs, in very low light autofocus searches, and Battery life you get about 80_100 shots in, I turn power off when not clicking, finally extreme cold in the 20 deg or below baby needs its own puffer jacket, if not you get several shots in and it's worm up time.

I Shoot moving, stationary subjects, architecture, as well as mount to telescope for interstellar shoots I am always blown away from the results. Lens, I have a trove L series EF glass that with a adapter makes the world look beautiful. Honestly can't say anything bad about the EOS R. One more not have had two hard drops (stupid me) but still working it's magic, want to say the heavy grade aluminum Tripod L bracket I installed saved the day.B&H, I been a customer since being on 17th St. & 6th buying film and developer since a AP photographer in my building gave me Canon FTBn that was 40 yrs ago.
